Robert Farris Thompson – Flash of the Spirit: African & Afro-American Art & Philosophy

The Parallel Diaspora Copy: Robert Farris Thompson’s Masterwork, Inscribed to Nobel Peace Prize Winner Elie Wiesel with a Brilliant Cross-Cultural Tribute
Description: A spectacular, museum-grade association copy of the definitive text on Afro-Atlantic aesthetic and philosophical traditions. This copy features a breathtaking, highly profound handwritten presentation inscription from the legendary Yale art historian directly to Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel on the flyleaf: “For Elie Wiesel, The story of a parallel diaspora. For a Black Jerusalem Kongo, Mande, L' Khaim! Robert May 1985 New Haven.”
Thompson’s poetic synthesis—linking the historical weight of the African and Jewish diasporas, invoking a structural "Black Jerusalem," and toast-blessing Wiesel with a handwritten "L'Chaim!"—makes this a towering document of 20th-century intellectual solidarity.
Condition & Provenance: Tight, clean copy showing light edge-wear consistent with standard shelf reference. Curated directly from the Fifth Avenue Estate of Elie Wiesel.
